The Most Used Tools In Stephen Harper’s Toolbox Are The Words Terrorism, Terrorist Threat, Islamic Jihadists And Radicalized Canadians

The most used tools in Stephen Harper’s toolbox are the words radicalized Canadians, terrorist threat, terrorist, Islamic Jihadists and terrorism. Under the guise of keeping Canada and Canadians safe Canada’s elected MPs are being treated by this Conservative Party of Canada as though they could be potential sleeper spies, not to be trusted with anything related to the security and well-being of this country and its people, simply for being in opposition parties and only possible because the Conservatives are in power with a majority government. Stephen Harper and his Conservative Party of Canada have made it clear that they will not share anything that they consider sensitive information with all parliamentarians whether it is about Canada’s finances, environment, or security and it forces me to ask what is up Canada?

Opposition MPs are Canadians who were voted into office by other Canadians to represent them, make known their concerns and needs and give those Canadians access to decisions being made that will shape Canada for both them, their children, grandchildren and so on. If these MPs of the opposition parties are being deemed untrustworthy and therefore not able to be a part of the decision-making process, does it not follow that the Conservative Party of Canada’smade in Canada version of democracy :

Becomes a sham, no longer representative of all Canadians, but representative of only the Canadians that voted for them?

Becomes a dictatorship which seeks no consensus?

In an effort to keep Canada’s population in line as their decent grows, public disobedience increases and protests get ugly will Turn Canada into a police state giving unlimited power to secret police, to spy on, arrest, detain and imprison any Canadian, because all Canadians are now deemed potential threats?

Stephen Harper and his Conservative Party of Canada say that they are adopting a “Made InCanada Solution” to handle such issues as immigration, job creation, environmental issues, health and welfare, the economy, national security, just to name a few, but have you noticed that in all instances the “Made InCanada Solution” approach this government is talking about means:

That very little meaningful information will be shared with other parliamentarians, government watch dogs like the Parliamentary Budget Office, or Auditor General and even less for the ordinary Canadians?

That all to often are not only out of step with other Westminster type parliamentary governance, but also out of step with our closest neighbor and ally the United States of America?

Canada is reneging on it international treaties, agreements and protocols that Canada has signed onto.

Stephen Harper and the Conservative Party of Canada with their fear mongering have forced Canadians to become a people afraid of everything both real and imagined, because Stephen Harper wishes:

To pass himself of as some great war-time leader; the only person capable of keeping Canada and Canadians safe; capitalizing politically on the divisiveness that his fear mongeringis responsible for creating.

To remove the rights and freedoms of all Canadians that he and his Conservative Party of Canada decide get in the way of a government governing; Stephen Harper believes that the Canadian Constitution, The Canadian Charter of Rights and any institutions, or agencies that are in place to protect the rights and freedoms enjoyed equally by all Canadians represent needless, “Red Tape”.

Forever remove by legislation the need for Canadians to be part of Canada’s democratic process and governance by reducing their participation/ role to that of merely voting for who gets the opportunity to run decide things for them for a predetermined amount of time, so that the population works hard to guarantee their leader and their party a majority so that he/ she can make decisions that keep Canada and Canadians safe without interference from those who think differently and are different and therefore “Not real Canadians”.

What I am getting at is that Stephen Harper’s “Made In Canada Solutions” are taking Canada and Canadians further and further away from the fundamental principles and practices of democratic governance, due process of the law and equal justice for all, making Canada look more politically like the non democratic, oppressive regimes Canada claims to be trying to convert to democracy with all of its implied rights and freedoms.

With the creation of the Conservative Party of Canada’s Democratic Reform Ministry, the Harper government let Canadians know that they thought that Canadian democracy was not functioning as it should. Minister of Democratic Reform Pierre Poilievre and his party unilaterally decided that not all eligible Canadians that were eligible to vote, needed to vote and enacted laws designed to make voting for certain Canadians citizens as challenging as possible. Pierre Poilievre accomplished his mission by changing what used to be considered acceptable identification needed as proof of residency, before voting to no longer being acceptable and with one vote of their majority government the Conservative Party of Canada had taken away the right to vote for over 50,000 Canadian citizens among which are (a) those in poverty and living literally on the street, (b) the elderly living in nursing homes unable to venture out and (c) those who were waiting to receive identification from the government due to theft, or loss, just to name a few.

With the creation of the Conservative Party of Canada’s Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Ministry,Stephen Harper was able to enact laws to restrict the traveling of Canadian Muslims, or rid Canada of Muslims his government did not like. Steven Blaney,Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness accomplished his mission by

Using the authority granted to him unilaterally by his majority government to create and enact laws to remove a Canadian Muslim’s Passport while they are still in Canada, or are abroad, intentionally stranding them in another country. If you were a Canadian Muslim knowing how the government of the day feels about Muslims would you feel safe to visit your family in your country of origin, send money home to help support them as many Christians and Jews do every day, knowing that your actions could be misconstrued as aiding and supporting terrorist activity which could result in your Canadian passport being invalidated without notice and without the opportunity to return to Canada and defend yourself in a court of law, as in the case of Imam Ali Sbeiti? I contend that to remove a person’s passport, while they are out of the country without notification before hand amounts to deportation without due process that may very well violate their constitutional rights and freedoms, but more importantly in my opinion is a mean-spirited cowardly action, not representative of the Canadian values, spirit and high morality that I know of this country and people.

Using the authority granted to him unilaterally by his majority government to create and enact laws to make it legal for those in law enforcement and security to arrest and detain without proof, without charge or due process of law any person they or any other citizen in Canada or anywhere else in the world thought might be plotting, or considered likely to commit a terrorist act. then if they do decide to charge you with a crime under the terrorist act is it not reassuring to know that it will all be done in secret and that no one will ever see the evidence of those who accused you, definitely not your lawyer or the e presiding judge? Now I might be crazy, but that sounds like being whisked away in the middle of the night by some Gestapo type secret police and a lot like the actions of other governments this Harper government and its allies denounce.

Canadians have become so confused by all of the fear mongering that is going on that they cannot see that this government is not only out to restrict the rights of certain Canadians that they are deeming to be terrorist threats, but are in reality systematically chipping away most of the rights and freedoms that all Canadians used to take for granted. This was always their ultimate goal, made easier for them to do, because the threat of terrorism, terrorist threats and Canadians becoming radicalized has most Canadians willing to give up their rights for the security and the protection that the government promises them in return. The Harper government is making Canadians a promise it has no intention of ever making good on, because stopping terrorism is not even a real part of the Harper government agenda. The terrorist threat is just another tool in Stephen Harper’s tool box, that he and his party use to get Canadians to comply with their real agenda, which is to put all of the power in the hands of the government, without the need to answer to oversight bodies of any kind, be they parliamentary, or judicial.

Does it not makes sense that if this government really wanted to end terrorism and erase the threat of terrorist acts then they would be willing to look at the root causes of terrorism and work at trying to find peaceful solutions to ending terrorism rather than dropping bombs on who they deem terrorists, giving them more reasons to hate and kill and closing of diplomatic channels that would have them heard?

I contend that this government is using its own form of terrorism on the Canadian people. the Harper government are keeping Canadians so scared that they are willing to do anything and give up anything in order to be able to feel safe. The price demanded of every Canadian to feel safe in their own country by Stephen Harper and his Conservative Party of Canada is that every Canadian willingly give up the rights and freedoms guaranteed to them in the Canadian Constitution and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Consider this: If the Harper government along with all its allies really ended terrorism, or the terrorist threat, how would they get their citizens to willingly give up their rights and freedoms and join the New World Order? The government of Canada under the governance of Stephen Harper will never give up such a valuable tool as the Terrorist Threat / Terrorism.
